1in April, 933, after the temporary central government moved from Yeping to Shazhouba, Mao Zedong, chairman of the central government, worked and lived in Yuantaiwu. He found that all the people here drank dirty pond water, so he hung on his mind to solve the problem of drinking water for the people. As soon as he was free, he discussed with the guard Xiao Wu how to dig wells for the people.
One morning in September, Chairman Mao and Xiao Wu came to the pond with hoes and shovels to look for water. They were seen by their cousins who got up early in the morning, so Chairman Mao's leading role in drilling wells immediately spread to Shazhouba. In a short time, a large group of people came to the well-digging site, and they had doubts about Chairman Mao. At this time, the chairman saw a complicated expression on his cousin's face and said to everyone, "I have been busy with work these days and have no time to discuss digging wells with you." Today, I am a little free. I will find a place with water to set a location first and break ground. I know you are superstitious about geomantic omen, and you are afraid of offending Hanlong, a housebreaker, but I am not afraid. If Lord Hanlong really blames me, let him come to me! " The words dispelled the villagers' doubts and, under the leadership of the chairman, dug a well. A few days later, a well with a diameter of 85 cm and a depth of about 5 meters was dug. In order to make the well water clearer, Chairman Mao personally laid sand and charcoal on the bottom of the well. Chairman Mao set an example for the officials and people of Shazhouba with practical actions, and the central authorities set off a boom in drilling wells. Since then, the people of Shazhouba have ended the history of drinking dirty pond water and drank clear and sweet well water.
After the Red Army Long March 1934+00 left Ruijin, the Kuomintang reactionaries made a comeback. In order not to let people miss the Party, Chairman Mao and the Red Army, the Kuomintang reactionaries have filled this well many times, and the local people have waged tit-for-tat struggles with the enemy. The enemy fills wells during the day and the masses dig wells at night, so they fill and dig, dig and fill, and repeat several times, and the people at Shazhouba finally win. In those days when the Red Army went north, whenever there were difficulties and oppression, the villagers always quietly came to the well and sat there silently, thinking of the Red Army in the distance, the Producer Party and their relatives Chairman Mao.
1950, in order to welcome the arrival of the condolence group sent by Chairman Mao to the old revolutionary base areas in the south, the people of Shazhouba completely renovated the well dug by the military and civilians led by Chairman Mao and named it "Red Well". At the same time, a monument was erected beside the well, engraved with the characters "Don't forget the diggers, always remember Chairman Mao" 14 to express their infinite respect and yearning for Chairman Mao.
